tuesday was amazing. after i got hit by a car while on my bike and removed my leg which was pinned between the fenders of the two cars that hit me, i layed on the asphalt and came to the conclusion that
A: nothing was broken, bleeding, oozing or numb
B: there was gravel in my hair and this was not very becoming
C: i was going to be late to work if i didn't get back on the horse and keep riding
so i got back on and rode on, to work. i was late, of course, and called one of my bosses, lary, and said "lary, i'm in the shop. i'm sorry i'm late but i kinda got hit by a car. but i'm in the shop now!" this of course threw him into a state of worry and i assured him i was okay. but i would recommend a mild collision to anyone who is running late and hasn't come up with a good excuse yet!
for lunch, my other boss, dave, who is also my former youth pastor(and a gun enthusiast), took me out to Amazon, a churrascaria(brazilian barbeque buffet) that joao marcos(mister brazil) works at. which is a wonderful treat not only because my dear friend joao works there, but because the food's really good and it's $15 a plate during lunch! my boss rocks. so that was fun.
for college group that night, i baked cookies with double chocolate chips(ghiradelli) and peanut butter chips and like, 50 pizza-ettes with a homemade sauce. and joao came and played his congas & the piano and gerardo played guitar and holly sang and it was so great. it's a shame that they're all leaving and it will never be the same. after college group, joao, gerardo(holly's husband) holly and i went to Lucky Strike Lanes at the Block. it's a really fancy place with beautiful wood floors and almost a laid back, club-like feel to it. we all bowled horribly and had a great time doing it! and then we moved on to pool and joao & i played holly & gerardo and did a lot better than we did at bowling. it was a great night. and i got to spend it with all the people who are leaving me very soon. i wish i could go into more detail but this is long enough already
best day in a long time and it all started with getting hit by a car.
